I made it back to Wilmington in just enough time to eat dinner, watch a terrible movie, and go to work. God Bless America. I hope you have enjoyed my travels, and I will continue to post here, but my next big trip won’t be until Feb. 13th when I head to Music City. Just [...]

Gulf Trip Summary
January 29, 20112 Days, Deep Thoughts, and a Shrimp or Two
January 27, 2011Wednesday. Went early to visit the Captain’s hotel. A beautiful property on the bay, multiple swimming pools, pretty close to paradise. For the rest of the afternoon I loafed around the pier, visited the Margaritaville there, and made a roast beef sandwich. It was a good day. As far as Margaritavilles go, I have now [...]
Gulf Day #2
January 26, 2011It was a rainy morning, so I lounged on the couch and watched 2 Fast, 2 Furious. Such a fantastic movie. Paul Walker should have won an Oscar for that performance. The Cap’n got off work just after lunch, so we headed up, (I guess over), to Destin. There’s an outlet mall there, and I [...]
Gulf Day #1
January 26, 2011“Yeah now the sun goes slidin’ ‘cross the water. Sailboats they go searchin’ for the breeze. Salty air ain’t thin, it’ll stick right to your skin and makes you feel fine.” -Tin Cup Chalice, Jimmy Buffett. Today (Monday), I drove forever across the great state of Georgia. Of the six hours I was in the [...]

A Walkabout
January 24, 2011In the words of Crocodile Dundee, I just took a ‘walkabout’. Some would call it getting lost, but it was an adventure through the dark alleys and homeless population of Savannah. Anyone who knows me would know that I have a great sense of direction, and wondered around downtown all evening without a hitch. But [...]
Day 1 in review: Football and Lesbians
January 24, 2011I know you’re reading the title going, “WHAT????” Well let me explain. Today has been quite the first day and I’m glad to report that I have stories to tell, and it’s only 9 PM. I will be heading to Savannah Smiles shortly, which is a dualing piano bar, and if it’s as eventful as [...]
Savannah Daydreamin’
January 23, 2011I have finally arrived at destination number 1: Savannah, GA. This is the ‘half-way’ point on my way to Florida. Now I must nap, then awake in time for some Jets-Steelers action. As a side note, upon arrival I realized that I’ve stayed at this hotel before. It seems like a past life at this [...]
Pre flight check
January 23, 2011The pre-flight checklist is going well. Suitcase: check. Guitar: check. Tire pressure, oil and gas: check. My ship is ready to go when the hour approaches. I can’t help but think of how much cooler the pre-flight checklist would be of a pirate’s ship. Main sails: check. Food supplies: check. Rum: check. How great it [...]
Travel Blog
January 22, 2011Welcome to post #1 of my new travel blog. I prefer to think of it as the beginning chapters of my adventure-filled memoirs. Why wait until you’re old to write everything down? I’ve procrastinated too much in life as it is, so it’s about time to get a jumpstart on something. First things first, it’s [...]
